Isotopes
a different version of an element that has different number of neutrons , this changes the mass, but not the identify of the element.
Radioactive decay table
Alpha, Beta decay and Gamma
Alpha Decay
2P and 2N are ejected, Atomic #: -2, Atomic Mass: -4
Beta Decay
1N converted to a 1P and 1e-, proton remains in nucleus. Atomic Number +1, Atomic Mass unchanged.
Gamma
energy released no other changes.
Only atoms with ------------ will undergo radioactive decay.
unstable nucleus
Proton Mass and Neutron Mass
1 amu
Electron Mass =
1/1,836 amu
AMU =
Atomic Mass Unit
Where are a proton, neutron and electron are in an atom
99% of an atom are in a nucleus
Atomic Number =
Atomic Mass =
What are the types of atomic forces
Strong Nuclear force, Electromagnetic, Momentum
Strong Nuclear force
Keeps nucleus together that over comes the repelling the force of like charges
Electromagnetic
keeps electron from flying away from nucleus
Momentum
prevents electron form slamming into nucleus.
What happened when we heated the salts using a flame fueled by ethanol
The atoms when to an excited stated and emitted color
How to find the protons?
Atomic number
How to find the neutron
Atomic number - Atomic Mass
How to find the Electrons
Electrons are the same as Protons if the atom has no nuclear charge.
